The Demon King is an Idiot [BL]-Chapter 181: Let’s go!
"He is going to use Jin Long against us," Jie Fu Lian shook his head with a sigh as he spoke.
"What do you mean?" Yu Wei questioned, tilting her head in confusion.
"Jin Long is going to think we captured the master of curses and he is going to try and save him."
"But without the master of curses, we can defeat Jin Long, can’t we?" Shen Chao asked.
Jie Fu Lian nodded his head as he spoke, "Under normal conditions, we should be able to defeat him, but I’m not sure. The master of curses seemed too confident."
"We are already here and the only way to go is forward," Hua Tianshu sighed as he spoke, "It doesn’t matter what waits for us ahead. All we can do right now is face it with courage."
Jie Fu Lian nodded his head as he agreed with the man.
"But what if it’s a trap?" Jin Shifeng questioned.
Jie Fu Lian thinly smiled, "Then we’ll walk into a trap and overcome the disadvantageous situation with willpower!"
"..." Mo Xue shook his head with a small smile as he heard this and couldn’t help but mutter, "I guess the master of curses wasn’t the only overconfident one around here."
Jie Fu Lian snapped his fingers and the puppets immediately turned to him, waiting for his orders.
"Go and find him for me," Jie Fu Lian spoke and all the four thousand puppets got moving, spreading out and going in different directions in search of Jin Long.
Within just a few minutes, Jie Fu Lian got a response from some of the puppets and nodded his head with a serious expression plastered on his face as he spoke, "Everyone, follow closely behind and try not to get lost. We are going after Jin Long."
The rest of the group nodded their heads in understanding and followed Jie Fu Lian’s lead.
Soon they were able to see the broken puppets lifelessly lying around on the ground and they knew that they were getting closer to Jin Long.
Yu Wei gasped as she looked at the broken puppets and asked in disbelief, "Did he do all this?"
"In just a few minutes, a few hundred of my puppets have already been destroyed," Jie Fu Lian sighed as he informed, "It doesn’t seem like Jin Long is in a great mood. I just hope we aren’t too late."
"Don’t worry," Hua Tianshu reassured, "Duan Luoyang is my student. He won’t be that easy to kill."
As soon as he had finished saying this, coming from a distance, they heard the sound of Duan Luoyang crying.
"..."
"Let’s go!" Jie Fu Lian was the first to exclaim as he started running in the direction of the sound.
As they got closer, Duan Luoyang’s voice also got clearer and they could hear what the man was crying about.
"I failed to recognize him! Shizun also knew! I was the only one who didn’t know!" Duan Luoyang cried out loudly, almost seeming as if he was complaining out of both anger and sadness, "How could I not have recognized him?! I even disrespected him by calling him Uncle Fu! Who the hell is Fu?! He is clearly our pitiful young master!"
When Jie Fu Lian heard this, his feet immediately slowed down.
"Just shut up already!" Jin Long roared in anger.
"I won’t shut up!" Duan Luoyang started crying even louder, "I feel wronged! Why am I even here? I didn’t even get the chance to apologize to him and now I’m causing him more trouble! And my dagger! My precious dagger! You stole my dagger!"
"If you don’t shut up, I’m gonna find that dagger and shove it down your throat!"
"My precious dagger fufufu~" Duan Luoyang continued to cry like a child, "It was gifted to me by the young master!~"
Jie Fu Lian immediately used his demonic Qi to hide in the dense fog and looked on with great interest.
"Are they bickering...?" Ren Lei asked, the corners of her lips twitching.
"That idiot... Is he looking for his own death?" Shen Chao asked in disbelief.
Mo Xue shook his head as he defended Duan Luoyang and spoke, "He is smart. He is not actually arguing. He is making noise in order to inform us of his whereabouts and he is also keeping Jin Long busy."
Hua Tianshu nodded his head as he agreed with the man’s words and added, "Jin Long is distracted. It’s the perfect time to attack."
Jie Fu Lian pursed his lips into a thin line and quickly assessed the situation as he heard this.
Duan Luoyang was tied up with diety binding ropes and his legs, which were covered in blood, looked to be heavily injured.
Jin Long was busy fighting the puppets that Jie Fu Lian had sent for him and Hua Meifang could be seen lying unconscious next to a boulder.
"Shen Chao, go and save Duan Luoyang."
"Eh? Alone?" Shen Chao asked, his eyes widening in fear.
"Hua Tianshu will go and get Hua Meifang," Jie Fu Lian continued, ignoring Shen Chao’s unwilling response.
"What about Jin Long?" Yu Wei questioned.
"I’ll take care of him," Jie Fu Lian spoke, clenching his fist.
"What do you need us to do?" Jin Shifeng asked.
"For now, nothing."
"Hmm?"
"Keep yourself hidden. Only act when you think you are needed."
"So we are only here to provide support in case something goes wrong?" Yu Wei asked with a soft scoff.
Jie Fu Lian nodded his head without any hesitation, "That’s right."
"..."
Without waiting for a response, Jie Fu Lian stepped out and joined the army of puppets as he attacked Jin Long.
Jin Long could not tell the difference between the real Jie Fu Lian and the puppets without touching them, so at first, he did not notice anything out of the ordinary and kept attacking the puppets.
However, soon enough, the puppets started attacking him in a calculated manner and it made Jin Long believe that Jie Fu Lian was watching him.
As soon as he realized this, his lips curled up in a wicked smile as he loudly questioned, "You are here, aren’t you? Brother Ming?"
One of the puppets opened its mouth, "It’s certainly not a pleasure to meet you again like this."
Jin Long cut the puppet in half, thinking that it was Jie Fu Lian. However, he frowned in disappointment when he realized that it was just another puppet.
"Brother Ming, Why are you hiding? This is so unlike you. Shouldn’t you be confidently fighting me head on?"
Jie Fu Lian almost wanted to laugh as he heard these ridiculous words and made another one of the puppets speak for him.
"If I don’t go easy on you, I might end up killing you in an instant. If I do that, how can I get any answers out of you?"
Jin Long cut down the puppet that had said these words and laughed as he questioned, "Answers? Brother Ming, are you still looking for answers? Didn’t I already tell you what you did wrong? Merely existing was your only fault. You should’ve just remained dead when I killed you."
"I know. I already heard all about it. You killed me because of a stupid prophecy, did you not?"
Jin Long’s smile disappeared from his face and he once again chopped down the puppet that had spoken.
"You were afraid of being killed by me and hence you betrayed me. It’s quite simple to understand. However, what I want to know is not why you killed me. What I really want to know is why you destroyed the Yan Sect."
Even for a split second, Jin Long did not take a break and kept attacking the puppets as he asked, "Do you really want to know?"
"I want to know. Only if I know would I be able to decide how to kill you."
"Sounds scary~" Jin Long teased, "If you want to know so badly, why don’t you come out and show yourself? I might feel like talking if I see your face."
"Is that so?" Jie Fu Lian laughed as he sent forward four puppets, attacking Jin Long from all four directions.
While Jin Long was busy defending against the attack, Jie Fu Lian made a hand seal and used the ’art of controlling spirits’ to conjure the spirit of wind and dragon.
Soon, the wind frantically changed directions and suddenly gave birth to a wind dragon that ferociously roared as it aimed at Jin Long.
Jin Long gulped as he saw the dragon and immediately crushed something under his fist. However, the dragon did not stop and Jin Long’s eyes widened in shock and horror as he quickly stepped aside and barely managed to avoid the attack.
"Where is the master of curses...?" Jin Long questioned in disbelief as he took another summoning bead and crushed it.
"Don’t look for him," Jie Fu Lian laughed, "He won’t come."
There was a sudden shift in Jin Long’s expression as he heard this. He gritted his teeth as he looked at the thousands of puppets and threateningly spoke, "Don’t you dare touch even a single hair on his head!"
Jie Fu Lian was a bit surprised by Jin Long’s strong reaction.
